Each window becomes "Always On Top"

I am running Windows XP Pro SP1. Under some circumstances all my opened become "topmost". It becomes impossible to switch to another window by pressing Alt-Tab or clicking a taskbar button. I must press "minimize" on each window or "show desktop" to switch and it drives me crazy. After some time (again I don't know what causes this) windows return to normal behaviour.

I've experienced this defect on three installations of WinXP SP1. Never under Win98(FE/SE). How to get rid if it? Is there a kbd shortcut to trigger this state?

Sorry I've never experienced anything like that. Which programs does it do it for? Is the guilty program chewing up a lot of CPU cycles or 'hanging' in some way? When you minimise does it respond immediately or delayed? Have you done a thorough scan for malware?

BTW, any reason why not SP2 or even SP3?
